Driver Update: AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.2.2

AMD has released a new version of its Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 2020 drivers. The drivers are only suitable for the HD 7730(M) and higher, the HD 8570 and higher, and the R5, R7, R9 and RX series cards. The drivers are only offered for Windows 7 and 10 and there are no more 32-bit drivers available. New in the 2020 edition includes Radeon Boost, a technology that uses dynamic resolution scaling to achieve better frame rates. In version 21.2.2 we find only a few minor improvements.

Fixed Issues

• Objects may fail to render correctly when using EEVEE render in Blender on Radeon RX 400 and Radeon RX 500 series graphics products.
• Quake III Arena may experience corruption during loading or gameplay.
• Performance may be lower than expected in Wolfenstein: Youngblood when a system is AMD Smart Access Memory enabled.

Known Issues

• HDMI Audio Devices may fail to install on Radeon RX 400 and Radeon RX 500 series graphics products.
• A system hang or crash may be experienced when upgrading Radeon Software while an Oculus VR headset is connected to your system on Radeon GCN graphics products. A temporary workaround is to disconnect the headset before install.
• Some resolutions may be unavailable or unlisted in the resolution settings drop down menu for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive when using 4:3 aspect ratio.
• Radeon FreeSync may fail to enable in Forza Horizon 4.
• AMD is currently investigating end user reports that Radeon Software may sometimes have higher than expected CPU utilization, even when a system is at idle. Users who are experiencing this issue are encouraged to file a bug report in Radeon Software.
• Brightness flickering may intermittently occur in some games or applications when Radeon FreeSync is enabled, and the game is set to use borderless fullscreen.
• Enhanced Sync may cause a black screen to occur when enabled on some games and system configurations. Any users who may be experiencing issues with Enhanced Sync enabled should disable it as a temporary workaround.
